Is it stable if the car seat is attached and the older child is not seated up front?

Hi Julia, yes, it is very stable if you only have the car seat attached. The distance between the front and back wheels provides a stable base. We are happy with the stroller, it is not perfect, but a good deal for the overall price and has held up well with a decent amount of use. It is also pretty versatile with all the seating positions (and standing position). Good luck!

It depends. If you are using the car seat as the main conveyance then yes. Its well enclosed and should provide plenty of protection. If you are using the other part for your older child, maybe not. At least, if you use it you should bundle your child up well. That part doesn't provide a lot of protection from the elements.

There is a built in attachment underneath the carseat that you can adjust for when your child is rear facing. It just flips up.But it is not like an infant carrier where you detach the base and can carry around the upper portion. This seat would be for non-infants.

No, it is very stable, we have used it for awhile with my Dad using a lift and sling. Never had a problem with stability.

No. It is very stable. My 97 year old Mother-in-Law loves it. First time she was able to walk up and down the street in many years.

I usually don't have a problem with head support in this car seat. I have it facing forward and it sits up with a little recline. Only a few times do I remember his head falling forward. He usually leans his head to side of the head support and goes to sleep. As they get older, they get better at laying their head to the side and not forward. You can always place an extra head support in the seat for peace of mind. It's a really good seat though.

With the Chico Keyfit car seat, there is no hang over on to the other side. My 22 month old fits perfectly in the seat next to the car seat adaptor. I love it!

We are not using the top tether for our 4 year old in this car seat. The seat is very secure with only the seat belt installation.

This car seat is only rear facing. The base is designed to face to the rear. It cannot be safely secured to the seat of the car if you attempt to turn the base forward facing. By the time your child is old enough to face forwards, they will need a new (larger) more upright seat. I bought the Radian R120... which is good for up to 120 pounds. I will have no problem with this seat as my daughter grows.

I would say it depends on the age of the child perhaps not a 2 year old but a 3 and up child. with no back a smaller child could fall off.

Yes. If the child is bouncing on it, it is possibe for it to shift. If the child is just standing on it, it is strong enough.

Hi -- I have this and it is stable on its own however if you have children I'd recommend attaching to wall for safety.

If the seat is rear-facing, then yes (but would be cramped for long rides). If the child is forward facing, it is still doable, but would be uncomfortable.

You're not supposed to move them to a booster seat until they have fully outgrown the forward facing carseat. It's not safe. I bought this for my 6 year old.

it's plenty stable without being attached, especially when there's weight on the shelves, but for safety reasons, if there's little kids around, I definitely would attach it - wouldn't want a toddler pulling it down

Not at all! My toddler is almost 20 months old and weigths 25.5 pounds; and the seat supports him perfectly.

I never felt like the stroller was not stable with only one child in the front or back...however, it was more challenging to maneuver if there was only one child in the front seat. For this reason, I typically put our son/daughter in the back if I only had one of them. For the same reason, our son, who is the oldest, typically sat in the back seat. I hope this helps!
